Me And The Man In The Moon

Stacey Earle (Buoy Pub admin by Blue Water Music Corp.) SESAC

 

 

Hell come calling tonight

Tomorrow will come too soon

Bring me morning light

I will sleep till noon

 

 

Curtains pulled back tight

Linens blowing in the wind

From my window opened wide

There, Ill let him in Ill let him in

 

 

No one but me and the man in the moon

And our shadows bouncing off the walls

Timbers a creakin', moonlight a beamin'

Dancing in our all

 

 

And things are looking real, real good

And there it is understood

between me and the man in the moon

We both knew that we would

 

 

Full of himself and everybody's watching

Standing in line with even his sun

Left behind, long forgotten

But I'm not the only one

 

 

Oh but when he is half there, without a care

Just lying back in the night

Hell, leave them all just hanging in the air

And tonight he's all mine, all mine!

 

 

No one but me and the man in the moon

We stayed in last night

And no one even knew we were there

We turned out the lights

 

 

Then things started looking a little bit cloudy

So we both just slept in

And no one but me and the man in the moon

We both knew were we had been

 

 

He sleeps all day,

Shine with them stars at night

He's out living the big city cat nightlife

No one ever sees him standing in the crowd

Never says a word but he sure dresses loud

 

 

Yet the city lights still wash him down

Doesn't anyone here ever sleep

Hey I know of this pretty little town

Well hit roads not streets

 

 

Well pound the pavement down to dirt

Churning out nothing but dust

It fills the air and let her clear

Finding there nothing but us, No nothing but

 

 

Me and the Man in the moon

Riding in the middle of nowhere

And there's nothing between us

But this only thing that needs us

And what ever fills the air

 

 

Ill look up, You look over

And when there is no one around

No one but me shooting the moon

And falling down to the ground

 

 

Yes I'm in love with the Man in the moon

 

If You Want my Love

Mark Stuart (Buoy Pub admin by Blue Water Music Corp.) SESAC

Stacey Earle (Buoy Pub admin by Blue Water Music Corp.) SESAC

 

 

If you want to go out in your nicest gown

Be part of the crowd and laugh out loud

Well paint the town if you want go out

 

 

If you want to dance slow with a Romeo

Or Valentino, I'm a regular Joe

Just say so, if you want to dance slow

 

 

I don't mind if you're not ready for me

You'll find I will wait patiently

In your time, only far as you see

Its you I'm thinkin' of if you want my love

 

 

If you want my love it'll be enough

After day is done and you need some fun

You wont miss much if you want my love

 

Maybe Thats Just Me

Stacey Earle (Buoy Pub admin by Blue Water Music Corp.) SESAC

 

 

It ain't at all what it appears to be

Ain't at all what its suppose to be

Maybe just ain't what Id hoped it be

But maybe that's just me

 

 

A good time for a bad one had

Some of the worst are the best ones had

But maybe that's all one had

And maybe that's just me

 

 

Take somethin', give somethin' back

Take a little more, give more back

Give and take until it don't come back

Maybe that's just me

 

 

But a good wheel will go around

Hop on and ride her around

What goes there comes around

And maybe that's just me

 

 

Tomorrow leaves a yesterday

Goes on day after day

Leaving hope for maybe just some day

And maybe that's just me

 

 

But, here there, in the thick of times

Arriving in the nick of time

Sure looks to be about that time

And maybe that's just me

 

 

Well its about time!

 

 

Don't it just break your heart

I know it broke my heart

I say this with half a heart

Maybe that's just me

 

 

And why do it feel this way

Oh! Why wont it all just go away

Cause I wouldn't have it any other way

And maybe that's just me

 

Fishbowl

Stacey Earle (Purple Sun Music) SESAC

Mark Stuart (Buoy Pub admin by Blue Water Music Corp.) SESAC

 

 

I'm here entertaining

No room for complaining

In a fishbowl, swimming in a circle

 

 

I watch them stop and stare

I feel I'm getting nowhere

In a fishbowl, swimming in a circle

 

 

Looking through my glass house

Watch them all play cat and mouse

Skipping rocks in my fishing hole

 

 

Stones thrown, shattered glass

Fish out of water it wont last

I need a change of water in my fishbowl

 

 

I need a little room to grow

Its the same old thing and its getting old

In a fishbowl, swimming in a circle

 

 

I want a clear, blue stream

Trickle down a river to my sea of dreams

But, in a fishbowl, I'm swimming in a circle

 

Our World

Stacey Earle (Purple Sun Music) SESAC

Doug Gill (Sixteen Stars)

 

 

I wake up when the morning comes

I work all day out in the heat of the sun

The evening never fails to cool me down

Sending me to sleep, tomorrow is found

 

 

And our world just keeps on spinning around

 

 

We can run with the human race

But well still get there, just stand in one place

Slow down, stop and smell the flowers

Why, were still moving a thousand miles an hour

 

 

While our world just keeps on turning around

 

 

When you feel yourself spinning out of control

At least we have each other to have and hold

Give a little bit of love and it will come back to ya

Oh say a prayer, a Glory Hallelujah!

 

 

Our world just keeps on turning around

 

Lay Down

Stacey Earle (Buoy Pub admin by Blue Water Music Corp.) SESAC

 

 

Hold on and sit real still

Thru a driving rain

That turns my wheel

Why, you sure do turn me on

 

 

Turned on and sure do feel

Like a long, dark road

Dirt got no hill

My heart done gone and lost its will

 

 

Lay down, find comfort in

Strong arms that

Hold you to till the end

Steal a kiss, then, thrower into the wind

 

 

And then go back

Where you come from

Safe and warm to the only one

One who truly yearns for you

 

 

Hold on, lie real still

Smell the rain

Top the hill

Why, you sure do turn me on

 

 

Turned on in a field of green

Sweet blades of grass (Removed with)

Rain washed clean

And my heart is so filled with will

 

 

Lay down, Lay down

Lay down, Lay down

 

Lookinfor Fools Gold

Mark Stuart (Buoy Pub admin by Blue Water Music Corp.) SESAC

 

 

Keep yourself poor with nothing to show

Always put the ones who love you on hold

Still seeking riches down another mans road

And the prize is under your nose

 

 

You're looking for fools gold, you don't want to know

In front of your face is a vein of pure gold

If you mined your own heart you'd find an empty hole

Foolish pride dressed up as fools gold

 

 

Glitter will blind you till you can't see

Living a lie won't set you free

One of these days I hope you'll agree

What you've sown is what you'll reap

 

 

You could have the worlds biggest shovel in your hand

And the hardest working crew, man for man

You just don't seem to understand

There's no pay dirt in quicksand

 

 

 

When Shes Having Fun

Stacey Earle (Buoy Pub admin by Blue Water Music Corp.) SESAC

 

 

She's a dreamer

And if you let her

Fall asleep too fast

Just to make it last

 

 

Stay what seems forever

For her there's nothing better

So better go and get her

Before time slips on by

 

 

Up an attic stair

She knows she can find it there

Pulling out the cedar chest

Slipping off her Sunday best

 

 

Slipping into lace

Veil pulled over face

Hides disgrace, puts her in her place

And time slips on by, time slips on by

 

 

Hey when she's having FUN!!! Time slips on by&&..

 

 

Now her attention span

Stretched between two hands

Snaps like a rubber band

Sails across the room and

 

 

Her morning comes too soon

Still, not a word by noon

Night falls

And, still, not a word at all

 

 

When she's having FUN! Time slips on by&&&

Times slips on by, time slips on by

 

 

Here, everyday the sun will shine

(If she had it her way)

Every days the first of May

(Oh such a beautiful day)

 

Here, children never run or hide

They only play

 

 

In her perfect world

She's a fancy Gearle

Flowers growing everywhere

More then she can ever wear

 

 

She can pick them (yes, she can)

She can even hold them in her hand

Her petals never fade or fall

Nor, time will never tick at all

When she's having fun, time slips on by

 

 

Cry Night After Night

Stacey Earle (Purple Sun Music) SESAC

Mark Stuart (Buoy Pub admin by Blue Water Music Corp.) SESAC

Steve Earle (S. Nashville Music / WB Music) ASCAP

 

 

I almost hate to go back home

Somebody's died every time I've been gone

I ain't saying I don't want to know

Just that it brings me down so low

 

 

I was needing more out of life

I forgot how to be your wife

Everybody's settlin' for settlin' down

Hear the jingle of the chains rattling around

 

 

I never really gave much thought

I m sure its my own fault

I just figured after years gone by

All them tears would have run dry

 

 

I go out night after night

And I wonder if I'm treating myself right

And I think about the ones I left behind

When I cry night after night

 

 

Here's to the ones who worked all along

Living in fear of being alone

Well I started out early in life

I made mine and I knew I

 

 

Could never really go back home

That's the same as being alone

Sure, I could always turn it around

That'd be the same as shooting me down

 

 

 

Never Gonna Let You Go

Mark Stuart (Buoy Pub admin by Blue Water Music Corp.) SESAC

 

 

I must have dreamed you up in my head many years ago

But you never existed or at least I thought Id never know

Its like a thing so rare

You came out of thin air

 

 

Now, I'm laughing with you

Now, I'm talking with you

Now, I'm holding you

And I'm never gonna let you go

 

 

Now, I'm touching you

Now, I'm looking at you

Now, I'm loving you

And I'm never gonna let you go

 

 

I wonder if you ever dreamed of somebody like me

If you did, I know what you felt when you found me to be

You surely answered my prayer

You came out of thin air

 

 

 

 

Life is so short that we cant always finish our plans

There's a world of people who want things they just cant have

But, life is sometimes fair

You came out of thin air

 

Spread Your Wings

Stacey Earle (Buoy Pub admin by Blue Water Music Corp.) SESAC

(Rick Towles we will truly miss you)

 

 

I'm gonna spread my wings

Fly 'em like a dove

Hear them angels sing, Rise above!

 

 

Sittin' right and I

See things never saw

From here, them big things seem so silly and small

 

 

Another day

Come what may

Into a sky of blue

 

 

Catch me a breeze

Grabbing on my wings

I'll fly away

 

 

Yes I'll fly away

Riding high above

Spreading out my wings like a dove

 

 

But I'm no lonesome dove

I wont fly alone

Why, I have someone who will walk me home

 

 

While my wings are made

For walking down the street

They'll hold me up, they'll keep me on my feet

 

 

When flying here, to and fro

Lifting me, high above I go

Sending me a soaring around

 

 

Northern lights a glowing

 

Through warm whispers blowing

I can hear them calling me

Go spread your wings

Now, fly 'em like a dove

I hear them angels singing

Rise above!

 

 

So, I spread my wings

I'm soaring high above

I'm looking over all

Them ones I love

 

 

 

Downtown

Stacey Earle (Buoy Pub admin by Blue Water Music Corp.) SESAC

Mark Stuart (Buoy Pub admin by Blue Water Music Corp.) SESAC

 

 

Grow up downtown

Grew up wise

Know it well

Lived there all your life

 

 

Know it like

Your own backyard

Never have to leave

To get that far

 

 

Her warm glow surrounds

Cradling her town

Holding her upright

Up come the lights

 

 

Head up Broad

Be on time

You can almost taste it

A real good find

 

 

Walk right into

A brand New Year

Horns a blowin'

Music to your ear

 

 

She will never sleep

In earning all her keep

Oh but when she truly shines

Up come the lights

 

 

Every day she's brings them in

Then sends them back

Those who stay, end of day

Give her back her&

 

 

Downtown, late at night

Downtown, moves just right

 

 

Downtown, where lovers go

Downtown, finding true hearts with soul

 

 

While city folk lie fast asleep

A lonesome one still walks the streets

But that's when it all goes down

Up come the lights

 

 

The Note

Stacey Earle (Purple Sun Music) SESAC

Mark Stuart (Buoy Pub admin by Blue Water Music Corp.) SESAC

Steve Earle (S. Nashville Music / WB Music) ASCAP

 

 

 

If you can't find your way back

Turn around you left a track

One that leads right up to our back door

 

 

Pieces that you left behind

And the day I woke to find

Your note I found there on the floor

 

 

 

 

Some who will come and go

Those, heaven only knows

Those who cant take it anymore

 

 

I sure hope you will understand

Find yourself a better man

That's all it said and nothing more

 

 

I cant run and hide,

No place for me to go

This is the only life Ill ever know

 

 

Don't come around here

Don't knock on my door

Looking for your wife, she don't live here anymore

 

 

Things around here wont be the same

Ill remarry, Ill change my name

Ill change the lock upon the door

 

 

And the only thing you will find

Among the dust I left behind

Your note I left there on the floor

 

 

I don't read it anymore
